Tomorrow is my 90 day mark! (Wondering about Online ADRs)

[DisneyGigi]

So tomorrow is my my 90 day mark and I get to make all my ADRs. My first question is at 12:00 does the online booking switch to allow you to make your ADRs?? I have just been wondering if so if that would not allow me to get a jump on making my ressies rather than waiting until 7:00 in the morning to call. The two main reservations that I worry about getting are the Garden Grill and, of course, Le Cellier.

Any ideas? If I can make them I will still of course call in the AM to confirm just to make sure. I was just thinking that maybe this will make it a little easier to get those two and get the times that we want.

From experience, I'd say wait until the morning of instead of calling at midnight. Mostly it depends on the software the call center uses to input reservations. If it doesn't consider the next day until it updates (could be @ 2:00am or so) then midnight is right out

6:00 am EST

Joe is correct. The online system resets on or around 6:00AM. You should not have much of an issue with Garden Grill but Le Cellier always seems to be a challenge. Weekdays and lunch tend to be easier and make it as close to the end of your trip as possible. If you can not find availability on the day you want select a 5 day date range and take whatever will work.

Thanks for the info, I knew someone on here would know. We had planned a trip in August and switched to November but when I was making ADRs for that time period I had no luck with either one at any time during our dates. (That was the first week of free dining tho) Maybe I will have more luck tomorrow. We will be there for 9 days so surely at some point I can score ressies!

I still do wonder if I should get up and try online first rather than waiting til 7 to call.

Try online and here is how to do it. For the first ADR type "Le" into the search engine and select Le Cellier. Enter in your reservation number so it will allow you to do 90 days plus 10. Book Le Cellier and then the rest of your dining.

Thanks for your help, that's what I was thinking start with Le Cellier like I would if I was making them by phone. The last booking we did kinda scared me I just want to make sure that we get what we want, especially Le Cellier. :slurp: I think it will be worth it to try.

DisneyShe, best of luck with Le Cellier.... i had 0 luck for lunch or dinner, any day i'm there. Granite, i'm going during free dining, but still. I'm going to continue to call, and, check concierge every day once i arrive. Good luck with your ADR's! Let us know what happens!

Hate to hear you didn't get it. We are going during free dining as well thanks to the pin that we got that included table service. Last year I had no problems at all getting Le Cellier or anything else that I wanted but that was when you could book at 180 days. *crossing my fingers, toes, eyes and anything else* lol I will let ya'll know tomorrow.

Oh and for a little encouragement.. last year when we were walking up to check in at the podium, a couple in front of us walked up and asked for a table and got it because someone did not show. If all else fails maybe that will happen for ya. :wave:

So I have been up since 5:50 AM on a Saturday morning and I must say it was well worth it!!! :sohappy: Made everything online, easy peasy and I verified my ressies when I called to check on Kouzzinas.

All ADRs are made and I got everything that I wanted on the day that I wanted and even at the time that I wanted!!! With the exception of Kouzzina and apparently I will have to call when they are open.

The only other glitch was that I wanted an early Ohana's because we are doing the MVMCP but I got the earliest that they open at 5:00 then we can head straight to the party. I think we will be okay.

Anyways! Yay!! Here is what I got- in no particular order

Le Cellier -Dinner
Coral Reef- Dinner
Garden Grill- Dinner
Ohana's Dinner
Ohana's Breakfast (yes, I know twice?? the kids could not agree on dinner or Breakfast so we did both)
Crystal Palace- Breakfast
Boma- Dinner
San Angel Inn- Dinner
Sci-Fi- Lunch ( have no idea why but the kids want to eat here)
Cape May Cafe- Dinner (alternate in case I can't get Kouzzina)

I am soooo excited!
